I guess you will change the rotors in the rear to sorta match things.
probably painting the caliper and changing the rotor to the drilled ones

Damn Frank, your ride gets better and better.

Just curious, are you willing to sell your AMG brakes? I'm interested.

Project Carlsson NUT (took few pics testing out the tri-pod)

took some quick pics today. It was just for testing out the tri-pod. Haven't really got time to really play and learn how the hell do I use this damn camera to take pics like sdsilverM3. Oh yea..one of the pic you can sort of see the painted red rear caliper.

Which Camera are you using Frank? I'm trying to buy a Nikon D50 or D70 and do some serious picture taking.

Nice pics Frank. Dude there's nothing wrong with your pics. You just need to top it off with some minor Photoshop enhancement. Send me the full resolution versions of the pics and I'll show you what 5 minutes in PS can do for for pictures that already come out decent.

Oh, email address = iiilgsrlll@gmail.com

black out grill, four port exhaust, Sheeeet, damn hot. I know that I am going to be in the minority on this, but the only thing I would change is the little spoiler on the trunk. Not my taste. But Damn Hot Car!

Your car looks great Frank. I like the wheels more and more. Your picture taking skills are climbing steadily, but how much did you pay for that location?
